Create a Token on Avalanche — No Code
Avalanche's C-Chain is its EVM-compatible smart-contract layer, where standard ERC-20 (often called ARC-20 locally) contracts deploy unchanged. Avalanche is known for sub-second finality and a unique Subnet architecture for application-specific chains.
Gas & cost on Avalanche
Gas on the C-Chain is paid in AVAX and is low — a deploy generally costs a fraction of a dollar. Avalanche's consensus reaches finality in under a second, so your token confirms almost instantly and cannot be reorged. Hold a small AVAX balance and you are ready to deploy and trade.

Why launch on Avalanche
Avalanche stands out for its Subnet (now Avalanche L1) model, which lets projects run their own custom, EVM-compatible chains with bespoke rules and gas tokens. On the shared C-Chain itself, a deep DeFi scene around Trader Joe and a strong institutional and gaming presence give new tokens immediate utility. Teams launch on Avalanche when they want fast finality, low fees, and a credible path to graduating into their own dedicated L1 later.
Key facts about Avalanche
Avalanche uses the Snowman consensus protocol to reach sub-second, irreversible finality — there are no probabilistic confirmations to wait through.
Its Subnet / L1 architecture lets projects spin up custom EVM chains with their own validators and gas token while staying interoperable.
The C-Chain is fully EVM-compatible, so ERC-20 contracts and standard Ethereum tooling work without modification.
How to create a ARC-20 / ERC-20 token on Avalanche
- 1
Get some AVAX
Hold a small amount of AVAX on the C-Chain for gas — deploys cost a fraction of a dollar.
- 2
Connect to Avalanche
Open Swap.Day and select the Avalanche C-Chain (chain ID 43114).
- 3
Configure your token
Enter name, symbol and supply and choose the contract type for your project.
- 4
Deploy and verify
Sign the deploy transaction and verify the contract on Snowtrace.
